Ya, I kinda suspect there is another back story going on here. Seems to me that DFO requires some method to verify the catch meets the size limits in the regs, and if the catch is frozen how do you accomplish that unless the captain is willing to thaw out a random sample to check. If the Captain puts up a stink due to concerns over spoilage, then we are at a Mexican stand off....or something like that scenario. Thus the reason I would like to hear the other side of the story here....we are only being presented with one side of the evidence. Guess I'm saying the commercial prawn association guys have a vested interest in telling the story from one perspective, I want to hear the other side before reaching any conclusions.
